About this trip
Fourteen days across Mongolia's grasslands, deserts and nomad country, built around the Naadam Festival — a national celebration of wrestling, archery and horse racing that dates back to the era of Genghis Khan and is recognised on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
Rather than joining the crowds in the capital, you head to a remote town in the north to experience Naadam among locals, with far fewer visitors around you.
The rest of the trip takes you deep into the landscapes that define Mongolia — wide grasslands, sweeping desert and nomad life — with a small group and a mix of guided and independent time.
What you'll do
- Watch traditional wrestling, archery and horse racing at a remote northern Naadam Festival
- Spend time in nomad communities and see day-to-day life on the grasslands
